The bestselling treatment guide, updated to reflect changes to the DSM-5

Selecting Effective Treatmentsprovides a comprehensive resource for clinicians seeking to understand the symptoms and dynamics of mental disorders, in order to provide a range of treatment options based on empirically effective approaches. This new fifth edition has been updated to align with the latest changes to the DSM-5, and covers the latest research to help you draw upon your own therapeutic preferences while constructing an evidence-based treatment plan. Organized for quick navigation, each disorder is detailed following the same format that covers a description, characteristics, assessment tools, effective treatment options, and prognosis, including the type of therapy that is likely to be most successful treating each specific disorder. Updated case studies, treatments, and references clarify the latest DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, and the concise, jargon-free style makes this resource valuable to practitioners, students, and lay people alike.

Planning treatment can be the most complicated part of a clinician’s job. Mental disorders can be complex, and keeping up with the latest findings and treatment options can itself be a full time job. Selecting Effective Treatments helps simplify and organize the treatment planning process by putting critical information and useful planning strategies at your fingertips

  • Get up to speed on the latest changes to the DSM-5
  • Conduct evidence-based treatment suited to your therapeutic style
  • Construct Client Maps to flesh out comprehensive treatment plans
  • Utilize assessment methods that reflect the changes to the DSM-5 multiaxial system

Effective treatment begins with strategic planning, and it’s important to match the intervention to your own strengths, preferences, and style as much as to the client’s needs. Selecting Effective Treatments gives you the latest information and crucial background you need to provide the evidence-backed interventions your clients deserve.

    This is incredibly helpful for me, as I am a new clinician. The book goes through best forms of treatment tailored to each diagnosis and even adds information to be considered for each one. Extremely helpful and cannot recommend it enough if you’re planning to be or starting out as a new clinician/therapist!

    This book is a must have!!

    I am studying for the NCMHCE and a supplement that I purchased to study for the exam recommended this book. I figured it would be yet another counseling book I've bought, where I'd skim through it and only read what I find applicable. Wrong!! I cannot put this book down!! It basically sums up the entire DSM-5 in an easy to read format. There are plenty of studies cited in the reading, but it doesn't feel like a purely academic read at all.

    It cuts out everything that you don't need to know. I wish this book had been part of my graduate school reading, because I believe I would have been much less stressed about learning the diagnoses and knowing what interventions to apply in my clinical internship.

    This book is GREAT, it is a perfect companion for clinical courses in my PMHNP program. It works well with the DSM-5. It offers suggestions for screening, therapy, assessments, and treatment for many psychiatric illnesses. I literally use this book almost as often as my Stahl' Prescriber's Guide and definitely more often than some of the books that were required for my classes. It was one I just stumbled into and took a chance and bought it. No regrets!

    Really good book. They suggest DO A CLIENT MAP at the beginning of the book and then go through each diagnosis following that acronym which made it very easy to follow. I am glad I purchased this book versus renting it because I will be using it for future reference. Invest in this book. It is a definite must have for your collection.

    If you are a mental health counselor, this a book that you will want to have in your library. I explains each diagnosis, the clients and how they are affected by this disorder, the kind of therapists that is most effective, effective instruments to use that corroborates your diagnosis, that finally the most effective treatments to implement.
